Science hasn’t proven any of that, nor is it interested in it. Those are untestable claims made by religious institutions.
As for why I’M depressed, it’s because all forms of agency that I consider important have been stripped of me. I’m trying to claw my way back, but the system is setup against it.
“You’re a pedophile.”
Bureaucrats aren’t known for their out-of-the-box thinking. Probably half the staff at the NSA could figure out how to get the data off the tapes, but the person in charge of this isn’t that cleaver and might think that there could be something classified on them.

No modern car by a major manufacture is easily repairable, ICE or EV.
Aptera supports Right to Repair.,
Edison Motors has preorders for their pickup truck conversion kits as well if you need something bigger.
Movie prop?
I’ve heard that if you want to sit through their Copyright violation series, they still use Happy Tree Friends videos they commissioned. At least I saw some show that about two years ago
pfft, ok. If the rich want to cook themselves, all the easier to eat.
Or just have manual doors and locks with an electric actuator if you really want those “smart” features.
There’s also a Christian sect in Japan that claim that Jesus came to Japan.
You’re suppose to use gasoline or kerosene to clean stainless steel cars. At least the Deloreans came with instructions on how to do it. Not sure if Tesla saw fit to mention that.
